CURED BY CUTICURA
IN SIX WEEKS
J ,. "J had a terrible sore on my ankle
and had not walked anv for eleven
months." I tried nearly everything
' - without any benefit and had a doctor,
r. bu he didn't seem to do any good. He
said I would have to have my leg
taken off, and that I would never walk
A again. I suffered awful, and at night
n 1 could not sleep at all. I thought
. t there was no rest for me, but as soon
- r 'as' I began to use Cuticura Soap and
1 Ointment it commenced healing nicely.
1. I bathed the ankle with warm water
. and Cuticura Soap and then applied
,.. Cuticura Ointment to the affected
' I: part, and laid a cloth over the sore
to hold it in place. After two weeks
I could walk around in my room real

Greensboro, 'July 17. Congressman's
Blackburn's political headquarters at
the Benbow hotel were closed last night
and the rooms given up. He and fam
ily left for Blowing Rock, which will
be Mrs. Blackburn's summer home.
The residence here about which So
much fuss has been made, is now oc
cupied by Mr. Meyer, of the Depart
ment Stores of Meyers Co., who has
a lease on it for two years. Blackburn
will return here Thursday, but whether
he will conduct his campaign for Con
gress in the eighth district from Greens
boro or not is not known. Greensboro
is really the most acccessible point of
any . other to all the counties of the
eighth district. Besides this, it has
been reported that despite the fair
promises made by the organization of
doing all it can to elect him to Con-
gress. , . V'
" Blackburn has a notion that his being
as near the unairman or the sta'e
Committee as possible, will not only
cheapen his campaign but insure the
looking after his district bettr He
has even offered, it is said, to : 1 his
private secretary, Crouch, to t .-
msn free of charge to aid in th- .1-
paign work. This offer has fc - de
clined, rumor has it, Blackl s r e
turn next Thursday, is said to U .o at
tend a meeting of the Executive Com
mittee of the Tar Heel newspaper,
which has been his organ during his
own campaign for : th? chairmanship.
Editor Bradshaw will retire from that
position. Maj. H. L. Grant and "Gov
ernor C. J. Harris own the plant prac
tically own the outfit and will dictate
its disposition and future policy.
There are various rumors concerning
this disposition. One is that the prop
erty will be merged in that of the Indus
trial News, and be issued by it as a
weekly adjunct to its daily edition.
Asked about this report this morning, a
prominent member of the industrial
News,' and there was not a word of
truth in this report, for the Industrial
News, would not need to buy a new
equipment and outfit of machinery to
print a weekly edition. Another re
port is that Major Grant, the president
of the corporation, is in favor of mov
ing the plant and publishing the paper
from Raleigh. , The Congressman will
not need the paper in his campaign, it
is said, for the reason that he already
has several papers established in the
district which reach every part of it
locally, and are practically no expense
to him. In keeping with hs record in
political as well aa business matters.
The general impression here is, that
the politicians on both sides of the poli
tical family quarrel, have been monkey
ing with amiable and likable Governor
Harris, and have for the past three
years played him and his money to a
finish. That he has been liberal in gen
eral campaign contributions is well
known, and that his support of Black
burn's campaign from Greensboro and
Asheville by newspaper loans and by
endorsement of personal paper for
money borrowed, is generally credited
The mix up was not made plain by any
means at the State convention.
United State? Commissioner J. M.
Wolfe, who is also a Justice of the
Peace, had a case before him this morn
ing that aroused his indignation to such
an extent, he delivered a notable judg
ment and series of comments after he
had heard the facta. Since his judg
ment is the briefest way of stating the
case, it is re-produced from notes
takeii which Its deliverance was in
progress. Any one reading this case
will be more than ever convinced that
the legislature, or the people, need to
pass soma law to protect the flagrant
'abuse of power by acme Justices of the
Peace special officers and others :
Said Judge Wolf, after hearing wit
nesses: "Gentlemen, I have been i
Justice of the Peace for thirty years,
and have had all kinds of cases brought
me, murder down to stealing one ear of
corn, but this case beats any that I ever
heard. '
!Thla defendant Albert Mclver, a
colored man from the country, waa
, found in the negro department of the
Southern passenger station Knday
night a'nodding. Without a warrant,
this officer Jones, who says he is a rail
road policeman, went and arrested
him, got another man, put nippers
on him, carried him. to the county
jail, and v-'itV)ut any n Ivl ra
Ijhom anybody delivered him to the
jailor tha jailor took him, locked him

ifitila certain Justice of the Peace,

the charge being for trespass. The

Mm well, that he was in jail. This
Officer who arrested him, should swear

After hearing the ""evidence this
morning I declare that the defendant
Was not violating the state law by nod

they had been admitted to conference
This morning the same condition pre
vailed and the hotel presents n scene of
unusual condition. The state chair
man expresses great satisfaction over
the recent unifying of the Republican
party in North Carolina and is emphat
ically expectant In speaking of the
candidate for the Raleigh postmaster-
ship Judge Adams said he had never
known so high a type of rivalry since no
contestant has had aught to say of his
fellows other than commendation. The
full list of possibilities to date stands
John Nichols, U. S. Commissioner, J.
W. Harden, a banker, W. M. Brown,
secretary to the postmaster, C. H. B.
Leonard, assistant postmaster at pres
ent, Lester Butler in the United States
interna) revenue department and Wil
lis GJ Briggs, one of the State's ablest
young newspaper men. In canvassing
the situation here Judge Adams
suresall of his callers regardless of
their specific purpose that he will in
the matter of endorsing a Raleigh post
master employ his best judgment and
most painstaking investigation, follow
ing after the presentation of such ap
plicants by such fine endorsers. While
Judge Adams came to Raleigh to see
Gov. Glenn the post office candidates
went to room 30 to see Judge Adams.

A Remarkable Discovery
New York, July U, 1906. An emi
nent food specialist recently made .the
remarkable discovery that all the tn-
crredienta entering into the composi
tion of ice cream could bo reduced to
powder form, kept, indefinitely, and
when ice cream was wanted It could
be ouicklv made by adding a small
Quantity ot the Powder to a quart of
milk and freezing, without heating or
cooking, thus doing away with all la
bor in making ice cream : and the pro
portions of each ingredient being abso
lutely correct, the ice cream mad from
the Powder would always be the same
hiirh Quality, absolutely pure and free
from disease germs of danger or
ptomaine poisoning. No eggs, sugar,
flavoring or anything except milk
required to maka the finest Ice cream
from the Powder. After .having been
carefully analyzed by the Pure Food
Commissioners, it has Veen placed on
the market under the name of JELL-O
ICE CREAM POWDER. Scientists
pronounce it the greatest step-forward
in pure food production In recent years.

The Date.
Yesterday a short local was publish
ed in the Journal relative to the pro
posed cruise of Naval Reserves. The
boat leased for the purpose is the
Conipton, a staunch, strong, seagoing
vessel built entirely of steel for ths use
of the Wilmington, Southport and Lit
tle River Steam Navigation Co. It is
160 feet long and has accommodations ,
for 600 people. It draws but eight feet
of water consequently it is enabled to
go into quite shallow water. ;
The plan is that the Wilmington Di
vision will leave Wilmington on board .
the Compton on the night of July 24
reaching Morehead on the morning of
July 26 where they will be joined by
the New Bern and Windsor divisions,
each one having 43 men including offi
cers and they will make daily trips to
sea. The Compton will furnish the
captain, engineer and have a govern
ment pilot and other necessary officers
to there need be no fear that the boat
will not be suppli-d with competent
men to manage her.
There waa a proposition received
made by the Secretary of the Navy to
Gen. Robertson of the State guard that
boat could be supplied for the um of
naval cadets by the government, ii
would be of the cruiser or battleship
order and could not enta r the harbor at
Morehead, Beaufort or Southport aa
they draw about 18 feet of water. Em
barkation would probably nave to be
made at Cape Lookout
Commander Bradham is holding this
offer in abeyance for the present - He
thinks it impracticable to accept It as
provisions have already been made and
moreover a cruise on a government
boat is something requiring an enorm
ous amount of work and even the abort
period which it would last would mean
tremendous exertion something which
few know about who have not become
acquainted with the work. There
are other considerations which maka it
difficult to take the boat, still it la pos
sible that the battleship or cruiser will
be sent down here for this purpose and
the Reserves or part of them be placed
on board of the boat ,
The appropriation for this cruise is
(1,600 and seventy-five per cent of the
brigade is required to report for duty.
It is in no sense a lark or pleasure trip
but it is for them to become acquaint
ed with army and naval tactics, in
short in times of peace it is fitting to
prepare for war.
